The audiobook is narrated by Gary Farmer and includes an introduction from John Buell Adams as well as historical references for each chapter.

Louise Erdrich's novel The Round House is set in northeastern North Dakota during the fall of 1975. The story follows Joe and Tony, two young children who wander away from their parents and are found by their grandmother, Rose. Rose decides that for the good of the children she will take them back to her native home on Turtle Mountain, where they will live with relatives. As a result of this decision, Joe and Tony are taken in by a family that is different from any other they've ever come across - more than just different from their own family, but from each other as well.

And then I, who had never felt a single ounce of love for the man, knew that if I didn't do something, he would leave me for dead." The Round House is about two point of view characters: Joe's wife and his daughter. Using these two perspectives, the story examines how family can be both a source of strength and an overwhelming force.

The Round House tells the story of Joe King, a young Ojibwe Native American and his family who are living on a reservation in North Dakota in the early 1970s.

The novel follows the family as they struggle with how this news impacts their daily lives, including Joe's two older brothers and their own children. The Round House is Erdrich's seventh novel and won the 2013 National Book Award for fiction.

As they bond over their shared experiences, they venture into new territory as they build a power that can transform both their lives.

After the death of her father, twelve-year-old Joe's mother becomes a 'round house woman,' unable to speak or move from the day her husband died in a car crash.
